PHAPITRERON SAMARENSIS Mearns.
SAMAR WHITE-EARED PIGEON.
- Phapitreron samarensis Mearns, Proc. U. S. Nat. Mus. (1909), 36, 436.
“Characters.—Resembling Phapitreron brevirostris, but with forehead, chin, and throat whiter than in P. albifrons McGregor. From P. brevirostris it is readily distinguishable by the white forehead, chin, and upper throat, also by the much greater amount of coppery amethystine reflections on the crown, breast, and upper back, and by the usual absence of green reflections on the side of the hind head below the suborbital white stripe; and the under parts are much paler. From P. albifrons it may be at once distinguished by the different color of the under parts, which lack the olivaceous-gray on the breast, and by its more ochraceous abdomen; also the coppery reflections on the breast and upper back of P. samarensis are entirely absent in P. albifrons.
“Measurements of type (from well-made skin of female).—Total length, 230 mm.; wing, 124; tail, 95; culmen and cere (chord), 14; tarsus, 19; middle toe with claw, 26. ‘Eyes pink. Feet, base of mandible, and around eyes, dark purple. Tip of bill black. Egg taken from ovary.’ (Bourns.)
“Measurements of adult male (Samar * * * ).—Wing, 129; tail, 95; culmen and cere (chord), 14.5; tarsus, 20; middle toe with claw, 27.” (Mearns.)
This species, if valid, will probably include all the small-billed brown pigeons from Samar and Leyte.

MUSCADIVORES PALMASENSIS Mearns.
PALMAS ISLAND IMPERIAL PIGEON.
- Muscadivores palmasensis Mearns, Proc. U. S. Nat. Mus. (1909), 36, 436.
“Characters.—Closely related to Muscadivores pickeringi from Mangsee Island, north of Borneo, on the west side of the Sulu Sea; also to Muscadivores langhornei Mearns, from West Bolod Island, southeast of the Sulu Sea and near the Island of Basilan. From the type of pickeringi (Cat. No. 15,732 U. S. N. M.) it differs in being paler, with much less vinaceous color on the chin, throat, breast, and under tail-coverts. The wing is 10 mm. shorter. From langhornei, which it resembles more closely in the coloration of the under parts, it can be distinguished at a glance by the dark color of the mantle, rump, and upper tail-coverts.
“Adult male (type, killed January 21).—Head, neck, upper back, and upper parts, lilac-gray, purest on the upper side of the neck and upper back, washed with vinaceous on crown, ear-coverts, and breast, fading to whitish around base of bill, and shading to drab-gray on legs and crissum; scapulars, back, rump, and wing-coverts mouse-gray, lustrous in a certain light; wing-quills and upper tail-coverts dark mouse-gray, with subdued reflections of violet, coppery, and green; rectrices lustrous golden green above, smoke-gray below; flanks, axillars, and lining of wings clear gray. An adult male topotype in fresh plumage, shot by Dr. Paul C. Freer, October 7, 1906, only differs from the type in being appreciably darker. The sexes are practically alike in size and color.
“Colors of soft parts.—Two mated pairs, about to breed, had the soft parts colored exactly alike, January 21, 1906: Iris red; eyelids and feet vinaceous; claws dusky purplish gray; bare space surrounding eye, pale plumbeous; bill pale bluish gray at tip, darker plumbeous at base. Testicles functionally enlarged.
“Measurements of two adult males (type and topotype measured fresh by the author).—Total length, 420, 430 mm.; alar expanse, 735, 750; wing, 240, 240; tail, 156, 160; culmen (chord), 20, 20; tarsus, 32, 34; middle toe with claw, 46, 49.” (Mearns.)

TUMINDAO SCREECH OWL.
- Otus steerei Mearns, Proc. U. S. Nat. Mus. (1909), 36, 437. Tumindao, off Sitanki (Mearns).
“Characters.—Very similar to the Celebesian Otus menadensis, from which it may be distinguished by being larger, with upper parts darker, with more of the black vermiculations; black centers to the feathers of the under parts much less conspicuous; feathers of tarsus more heavily cross-barred with blackish. Of the Philippine species it is most closely related to Otus cuyensis McGregor, but is darker and much smaller, having the same white, black-tipped scapulars, but with the entire plumage darker and more heavily marked, and the wing 15 mm. shorter. It bears no close resemblance to any other Philippine species.
“Measurements.—Wing, 157 mm.; tail, 84; culmen from cere (chord), 15; tarsus, 33. Iris yellow; bill and feet greenish (from fresh specimen). The stomach of the type contained insects.” (Mearns.)

“Characters.—Closely related to Prioniturus waterstradti Rothschild, from Mount Apo, southeastern Mindanao, from which it may be distinguished by its larger size, much yellower coloring of under side, greener, less brownish back and scapulars, longer tail, but much shorter naked shafts to the central pair of feathers.
“Adult female (type and only specimen).—Upper parts green, with slight touches of bluish on forehead, and a light greenish brown rump, as in P. waterstradti; wings bright green above, with concealed inner webs blackish, and outer webs narrowly edged with yellow; edge of wing yellow; rectrices green above tipped with dull black, beryl-green on under side, the shafts and spatules of the central pair dull black, with webs all green to the naked shafts; entire under parts golden green; axillars and lining of wings oil-green; under side of primaries dull black, broadly bordered on the inner webs with beryl-green. Iris dark brown; bill pale horn-color, faintly plumbeous at base and tip of mandibles; feet and claws plumbeous (from fresh specimen).

- Yungipicus siasiensis Mearns, Proc. U. S. Nat. Mus. (1909), 36, 438.

“Adult male (type).—Similar to the male of Y. ramsayi, but with a smaller bill and without white markings on the upper surface of the primaries or secondaries except a small concealed white spot on inner webs of several secondaries, and with much less white on the inner margins of the inner webs on under side of wing; and the orange-yellow of the under parts is much more restricted, being confined to a narrow band across the chest.
“Adult female ( * * * ).—Similar to the male, but lacking the elongated scarlet feathers on the edge of the posterior half of the crown and occiput, the entire upper surface of head and neck being dark brown. The white markings of the upper and under sides of the wings are restricted to the same extent as those of the type, and tend to form a very narrow brownish white margin to the inner webs of the innermost secondaries, below, instead of forming squarish detached white spots as in Y. ramsayi; the orange-yellow pectoral band as in the male.
“Measurements of Yungipicus siasiensis.—Adult male (type): Wing, 83 mm.; tail, 47; culmen, 19.5. Adult female ( * * * ): Wing 85 mm.; tail, 49; culmen, 20.2.” (Mearns.)

“Compared with the Samar and Mindanao forms the Basilan form, Rhinomyias ruficauda ruficauda, has the under parts whiter, middle of chest grayer, sides of chest and flanks a grayer brown, with entire side of head slate-gray.

“Characters.—Similar to Cryptolopha mindanensis Hartert, from Mount Apo, Mindanao, but smaller, less yellow above and below, and with a distinct yellowish white postocular streak extending to the occiput; bill flesh-color instead of yellow on base of mandible; feet grayish flesh-color instead of plumbeous.
“Adult male.—Upper parts olive-green, darkest on the crown; wings and tail dark brown, broadly bordered with olive-green on the outer webs, but with outer rectrix white to the base, edged with pale yellow basally and with olive-brown terminally on outer web; second rectrix dark brown at base of inner web, white on terminal two-thirds, yellow on basal half of outer web and olive-brown on terminal half; third rectrix edged with white at tip of inner web and yellow on outer web at base; loral and postocular streak yellowish white; entire under parts sulphur-yellow, obscured by pale olive-green centers to the feathers; under tail-coverts plain sulphur-yellow; sides of chest and flanks olive-green, streaked with yellow; axillars and lining of wings pale sulphur-yellow; cheeks pale sulphur-yellow, mottled with very pale olive-green.

A recently described subspecies of stork-billed kingfisher is based upon a male collected by Bartsch in the Island of Masbate. The citation is:
- Rhamphalcyon capensis smithi Mearns, Proc. U. S. Nat. Mus. (1909) 36, 466.
This subspecies is said to be intermediate in color between Pelargopsis gouldi and P. gigantea and larger than either of them. The type measures: “Wing, 157 mm.; tail, 96; exposed culmen, 80; tarsus, 17.”
I regret that a copy of the fifth and final volume of Sharpe’s Hand-List of Birds was received in Manila too late for citation in the Manual.
